Konvo is Instagram with only the messages. A paid Konvo subscription is required to access Instagram DMs through the app. Available plans, prices, billing periods, and any eligible free trial are shown before you confirm an Apple in-app purchase. Sign in with your Instagram account and Konvo opens straight to your inbox. The feed, Reels, and Explore never load. Your chats are exactly as you left them, and everything you send and receive shows up in Instagram like normal, because it is Instagram, just only the part you actually need. WHAT KONVO DOES - Opens directly to your Instagram inbox, every time - No feed, no Reels, no Explore, anywhere in the app - Your DMs, group chats, message requests, and story replies all work - You sign in on instagram.com inside the app. Konvo never sees or stores your password BLOCK THE REAL INSTAGRAM, IF YOU WANT Connect Konvo to Screen Time and the Instagram app itself gets blocked behind a shield. Your messages stay one tap away in Konvo. You get two five-minute passes a day to unlock Instagram for the things that need the real app: posting a story, a picture, or calling someone. When the pass ends, Instagram locks itself again. The block is optional and you can turn it off whenever you want. OPTIONAL MESSAGE NOTIFICATIONS AND PRIVACY Get alerts for new Instagram DMs while Konvo is closed. If you enable this feature, Konvo stores an encrypted Instagram sign-in session on its server to check for new messages. Message content is processed temporarily in memory and is not saved. You can disconnect in Message notifications settings. Konvo collects basic usage analytics to improve the app. Konvo requires an Instagram account. Konvo is an independent app and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Instagram or Meta.
